in awnser to the TB gasket. yes that was also changed.. the car runs rich.. you can smell strong exhaust coming out of the tail pipe. also i noticed the last few times that i have washed the car there is oil on the back of the car.. my car is white so its noticable. just these little black specks that look like dirt until you touch them.. then its plain to see that its oil. so with the car running. i put my hand under the tail pipe. when i pull it away i notice the specks of oil on my hand.. sure wish i could stop this.. i have found a used motor with 98000 miles on it for 12 hundred, including installation and warentee. mabie i should go that route...

Jake...depending on where you are..that sounds pretty expensive for 100K used.

Make sure the change intake gasket before they put it in.

I strongly suspect by the way this is written that it pertains to another topic? If so, please continue that topic instead of starting a new one. I recall something in the last couple days?
